Churro Cheesecake Bars

Holiday baking season is in full swing at my house. I have several favorite holiday flavors, but when I want my house to smell like Christmas, anything with cinnamon sugar tops the list! Not only do these Churro Cheesecake Bars make your house smell amazing, they are absolutely scrumptious!

They are a perfect combination of two wonderful desserts – churros and cheesecake. Seriously so amazing! Every bite is melt in your mouth delicious.

The hardest part of the whole recipe is pressing together the seams of the crescent rolls. If you can find the crescent roll sheets, it is a real time saver. If not, roll them out on a floured counter or piece of waxed paper that has been dusted with flour. After you have pressed out all the seams, gently place the dough into your pan that has been sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

After you spread the cheesecake filling on the crust, repeat the same procedure to roll out the second can of dough. Place it on top of the filling, then sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. It looks good already, doesn’t it?

My entire family went crazy for these decadent bars, and I bet yours will too!
